The Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute is composed of the departments of Neurology, Neuroradiology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry&Psychology. The Neurological Institute is divided into 15 disease-specific clinical centers in which neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and psychologists work in teams to address the multidisciplinary problems that our patients encounter and to develop research strategies to advance patient care. There are 140 staff physicians and scientists and 150 trainees in over 30 post-graduate training programs within the Institute. The training programs include core residency ACGME accredited programs in Adult Neurology, Child Neurology, Neurosurgery, Adult Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, as well as ACGME accredited subspecialty fellowships and non-accredited fellowships.
All trainees within the Institute are encouraged to participate in a yearly Neurological Institute Research Day, during which research projects are presented in poster and platform formats to an audience of staff and trainees. Many of these projects go on to national presentation and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University is a unique medical school established in 2002 that sets new standards for the training of physician scientists through innovative approaches to the integration of basic science, research and clinical medicine. Physicians within the NI direct the basic neuroscience curriculum in years one and two. Additionally, physicians within the NI direct the neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry clinical curricula, including basic clinical rotations, acting internships and advanced electives. Cleveland Clinic's basic rotations in neurosciences have been rated by the medical school students as the best in the city.
